Spurs strong favourites to land £20m midfielder: Ramos is far to clever to make this mistake!

Reports have emerged suggesting that Tottenham are now the club most likely to procure David Bentley from Blackburn…I think not!

Spurs boss Juande Ramos is determined to win the race to sign England’s emerging star David Bentley, who is ready to quit Blackburn in the summer, and the north London side are apparently favourites to beat Liverpool to sign the England international.

Although manager Mark Hughes has said recently that he expects Bentley to stay at Rovers it is thought that the lure of a return to London could prove too much for the young midfielder. (Express)

Given Juande’s recent intelligent capture of Luka Modric for a club record fee I find it very hard to believe that the Spaniard would spend a huge wad of Daniel Levy’s money on a player who could prove more hassle than he’s worth.
